Hi All,

Here is the third alpha of kernel 6.4 with the first PowerPC updates for testing.

New:

• PowerPC updates 6.4-1 (including PASEMI updates)
• DRM fixes (We don't need the ttm_pool.patch anymore)
• Sound updates (including CREATIVE Sound Blaster EMU10K1 updates)
• Linux Git log
• Phoronix articles, reviews and news stories covering Linux 6.4

Please note: The X1000 doesn't boot with the PowerPC updates 6.4-1 so I removed them for the X1000 kernel.

Download: linux-image-6.4-alpha3-X1000_X5000.tar.gz



Please test the kernels.

Kernel 6.4:

Hans Verkuil has dropped the overlay support for BTTV TV cards. That means, that tvtime doesn't work anymore.

Destructive overlay support (i.e. where the video frame is DMA-ed
straight into a framebuffer) is effectively dead. It was a
necessary evil in the early days when computers were not fast enough
to copy SDTV video frames around, but today that's no longer a problem.

It requires access to the framebuffer memory, which is a bad idea and
very hard to do safely. In addition, in drm it is today almost
impossible to get hold of the framebuffer address.

So drop support for this.

bttv: drop overlay support

I reported this issue to the kernel developers today.

If v4l2-ctl fails, then try again
after applying this series:

This patch series solved the issue.
